colin Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 After the Cardiff shambles I decided that I wasn't going to do my usual 60 mile round trip to Ewood from Manchester any more. This despite my having a season ticket and having one since 1992. I thought it would be interesting to see how many others have given up. Not that Venky's will give a toss, but it will give me (and you) a bit of comfort if others add to this. Just add your name if you're not going again. Yours in communal misery Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roverall Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Have been flying over from Ireland to watch Rovers for the last 20 years. Usually manage around 6 games a season. I will not set foot in Ewood Park again until Venky's are gone. They have killed a great pleasure in my life. Very, very sad. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr bishi Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Randy_Synge I'm in a quite similar situation to yourself. Rovers supporter from cavan and I can't justify spending the price of a season ticket on one game to be left completely demoralized anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_gallagher85 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The same as you guys I won't be at another Venkys FC game. I shall still be traveling over every few weeks as my girlfriend is from Bolton but my season ticket will go unused! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Season thicken is in my pocket and the plan is to go after work and hand it whilst going mad! Take it easy buddy. Remember venting your spleen at the girl on the counter will do neither of you any good. Take it into the LT office on town and hand it in there.

SD4E Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 If kean is still in charge for the next home game, as Mr Bannatyne would say, I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltysellars Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Smelt a rat when Kean and Venkys took over and didn't renew my season ticket, despite living and breathing Rovers for the best part of 25 years. I had actually stopped enjoying going anymore, so decided against renewing and instead investing my time in coaching kids cricket. I have been a couple of times this season and the atmosphere has been very hostile. Even the Leeds fans at work have stopped laughing at me.

Muddboy Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Spending six hours in the car to travel to every home game from Aylesbury used to be a pleasure. Now it's absolute torture. I'm not prepared to put myself through it anymore, or for my family to be exposed to all the frustration and anger that I used to bring home with me from Ewood. Until some serious changes are made, my ST will continue to gather dust on the shelf. Thanks Venky's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Compared to some others on here I live round the corner from Ewood. I take my lad who, although he doesn't understand the subtleties, does understand that Kean and Venkys have ruined the team and mean we lose virtually every game. I'm hoping it will be a life-lesson to him and he will enjoy the good times even more -when/if they return. I sometimes think I'm going to destroy any love he has of football but credit to him, he's already told me he won't support anyone else because Rovers are HIS team. I just hope he has a team he can be proud of as he grows up. Me, I continue to go out of morbid curiosity to see how much worse it can get. Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

Bluefudge Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 My morbid fascination will not allow me to stop going. It's my club, sickness and health, for richer for poorer et al. All this will come to pass.... We may even come out of this better, what don't kill you, makes stronger. If all around you lose their head, but you keep yours, you will be a man my son !!!

chocky Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'm not going again Untill Kean is sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modes98 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I've only been to 1 game this season (QPR away). I refuse to attend until Kean has left the club, he makes me too angry and the football is too depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I've not been since they banned supporters rights to protest, and I'll certainly not be going again until Kean is sacked. If they continue down the same lines as they're going, the Salgado debacle being the lastest **** up, I may not go again until the idiots from Pune have been run out of the club. KEAN OUT and take AGNEW with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Not going to any more games home/away - however could be tempted in the new year for one final home game and two fingered salute at Kean, Anderson and Vineth Rao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelsta Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I dont get to as many matches as i'd like, but now thanks to this lot i will not be going to any. Bought my new baby girl a Rovers baby grow, wich i refuse to put on her....may get her a Barcelona one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazmaz Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 As much as I dislike going at the moment, I cannot for the life of me stop going. My love for Rovers is far stronger than any hate I could possibly have for "them" I may be a broken man, it may take me 45 mins to do a 5 min walk home thinking about what went wrong, but I cannot walk away from BRFC..

riggers77 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Im not going till kean sacked. Season ticket holder 18 years. Asked for a refund and have been refused. All those who cant bring themselves to not go arent doing the club any favours. If you cant not watch the game then watch it on the internet or in the pub.

The Harwood Yankee Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The Bolton game was the last in a series of final straws for me. Didn't enjoy it one bit and won't be going again until that evil creep is sacked as manager. Then whoever is put in his place I'll support 100% and hope we can somehow stay up.

EwoodDawn Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Been a season ticket holder for donkeys years but I've missed the last three home matches now - something I don't think I even did when pregnant with my kids or post-natal. (Though I didn't go to Burnley at nine months preggers a few years ago - nobody wanted me to give birth over there!)Unless Kean's gone before the next home game, the ony reason I might be tempted to turn up will be to see friends and hope that all the falling out has stoppped.

james_rox Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Yet to visit since Wolves away last season. That day holds great memories and I don't care to ruin them with the nonsense which is taking place up at Ewood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurid Coat Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I've been flying over from Norway to watch Rovers 1-2 times a season. Haven't been to Ewood this year. I'll most likely fly over for the Wigan match on May 5th, as this will probably be the last ever Premier League match featuring Rovers - at least in my lifetime (and I'm just 25) - but I fear that's it for me.

eire3382 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Can't bring myself to go until kean has been shown the door. But I will be at the very next home match (after hes gone) and my love affair with my club will restart. So sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTM08 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The Bolton game was the first time I've been since WBA last season (due to work commitments) but the only way I can see me going to the Stoke game will be because it may be the last PL game I'll see us play. Tuesday's game was awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
